GENERAL NEWS ITEMS.
AHalt Called on Certain Practices.

Washington Special: Lieut.. Gov. Rice
Of Minnesota has written a letter to Secre-
tary Lamar informing him that the land
officers at Benson are allowing ignorant
persons, mostly foreigners, to file and To-
cate upon certain lands within the grant
OF the Manitoba railroad which already
have been certified to the state and by the
state to the road. These lands are what
are known as ''place lands"-that is, OF
the grant and not indemnity lands
and why the local land officers should al
low settlers to file on them, knowing them
to be withdrawn from settlement, rather
inystified the secretary. He addressed
a note to Commissioner Sparks instructing
him to inquire OF the officers by telegraph
their reasons for allowing these settlements
and to withdraw all such filings at once.
There are now before the department over
1000 applications from settlers to
file on granted and indemnity
lands OF railroads within the Benson and
Worthington land district, most OF which
have been rejected by the local officers and
appealed to the commissioner. Under the
proposed plan OF rectangular adjustment
OF grants which the commissioner adopted
q year or more ago, a few entries were
allowed, but as the secretary oversuled
this plan some months ago these entries
will have to be relinquished.

A Prominent Citizen Of Washington Murdered.

The brutal and wanton murder OF a
prominent citizen occurred on tho evening
of the 18th, at the corner OF Pennsylvania
avenue and Fifteenth street. in ront Of the
Riggs bank. AS Joseph c. j. Kennedy left
his real estate Office. Immediately adjoin-
ing the bank and walked toward q letter
box he was followed by John Daily. As he
posted the letter Mr.. Kennedy
turned whereupon DAILY plunged a case
knife to the hilt in the left
side OF the abdomen OF the aged man.
The stricken one fell to the sidewalk, gasp.
ing, blood gushing from the dreadful cut.
DR.. Ruth, OF the navy, who was driving by
jumped out and pronounced the wound
fatal. Kennedy died in a few minutes.
The murderer stood calmly gazing at his
bloody knife as a bystandor caught hold
Of him. Daily was oon alter taken in
charg by an officer, who hurried him to the
station. He was discharged from the
~workhouse the same morning, and is said
to be demented.
He hung around his victims office all the
afternoon, evidently waiting for him. At
the police station Daily made q rambling
statement, saying that the dead man had
swindled him out Of som money in a real
estate transaction. The only possible ba.
sis for this statement, so far as can be
learned is, q number OF years ago Daly's
father was in the employ of MI. Kennedy,
who gave him q piece Of property which he
afterward bought back. The dread event
can probably be set down as another case
OF G~uiteauisn.

VThere have been many conflicting
reports in regard to the prospects for
the completion Of the Panama canal,
but the recent testimony of compe-
tent engineers ls all in one direction,
viz, that it bids fair to be a failure.
Mr.. Boulanger, one of the French en-
gineers who has been employed on the
work, declares that as soon as the
present supply of funds is exhausted
which will be in aboutthree months
the work will have to be abandoned
for some time, if not entirely. His
observation leads to the conclusion
that not more than one-ffth of the
work has been done at a cost of $780,
OOO, 900. He thinks that from $4OO,
.Ooo, 900 to 100000, 900 more will
be required to finish it.

An Important Land Decision.

Washington, Special: People who took
up land within the granted limits OF any
railroad between the filing OF the map and
general route and the arrival at the local
land office OF the notice OF withdrawal. can
hold that land against any claim OF the
road. That is the principal enunciated
by Secretary Lamar in the case OF North
ern Pacific railroad against G.. Burns.
The company's map of the general route
was fled Feb. Fl, 1872. Marck 21,1S72,
r. Woodwork filed on land in Sec.
lion 3, township 6, range 1, Boze-
man land district. The with.
arawal had been made, but the notice had
not reached the local land Office. Wood.
worth, in 1876, sold out to Burns, who
went on the land and made about 50, 900
worth OF improveme nts, and in 1882 at
tempted to proveup., The local officers re-
lected the proof because the land was with.
In the granted limits and an odd section.
The commissioner of the general land Office
gave Burns the land because it had been
taken before tho mar of definite location
had been filed. The secretary says that
Butts decision OF the supreme court the
commissioner cannot be susta ined but un.
der the provisions OF the law OF 1876
Burns has a right to the land.

The recent cordial determination OF

q realization of Lincoln's prophetic
u~tterance in his first inaugural, in his
touching appeal to the South. "We

from every battlefield and patriot

will be, by the better angel OF our ma

yacht Nov Them the fastest craft OF the
kind on this side of the Atlantic.
So thoroughly is he convinced OF his boat

his own words is as follows.
I will give any steamer in this country
with a record ten miles start over the

I will do SO just for the sake Of having a
race and enlivening q little the present

The fact that there were but 80, 900
interest checks for the 4-per cent
bonds sent out from Washington at
the end of the fiscal year, as compared
with 41,oO0 twelve months ago, shows
that the small holders have been selling
in the year, and that these bonds
are steadily drifting into the possession
of the banks. This is the best form
Of security for circulation, as it will
not mature until 1907.

Arguments were presented before the

for all, and whether the licenses should be
separate or collective. AT the afternoon
meeting the commissioners presented their
conclusions in the following motionR MIR.
Griggs moved that the amount Of bond from
each elevator company be fixed and proper
toned as follows: =.
els or less a bond Of $5. 1000; for each elevator,
with a capacity of over $4,000 bushels and not
more than 60. 900 bushels. $4,000; and for each
elevator or warehouse with q capacity OF more
than that. $4,000.
The motion was carried. Mr.. Boynton
moved that the board require that one-
fourth of the bondsmen be residents of
Dakota. Carried. He also moved that
each person, company or corporation doing
business as a public warehouse In Dakota be
required to TAX out a license for such bust
ness, and to give a good and sufficient bond
which shall be approved by the board.
Carried. 1t was stated that the commission
must furnish the samples. of grades upon
request of the elevator companies and the
latter are expected to pay for
the same. 1t was brought out In tho discus.
sion that some of the elevator companies,
especially those In South Dakota, would not
store for pay this season, and would there
fore not qualify under the law as ware.
housemen. It was decided that under the
law the owner of the wheat was the one who
should furnish the cars, n therefore stor.
age would not end when the farmer sur.
rendered his tickets, but would continue
until the cars were provided. The meet
ing was an important one. and some 221
| elevators in Dakota were represented.
